Base station apparatus and communication control method

A base station apparatus capable of communicating with user equipment terminals using an uplink shared channel, comprising:

• a radio resource allocation unit configured to allocate radio resources to the shared channel according to dynamic scheduling after allocating radio resources to a random access channel and a control channel, allocating radio resources according to persistent scheduling, and allocating radio resources to a Message-3 in a random access procedure, wherein the Message-3 in the random access procedure is transmitted with a radio resource allocated by the base station apparatus,
• wherein the radio resource allocating unit releases the radio resources allocated according to the persistent scheduling, when the radio resources have been allocated according to the persistent scheduling to a user equipment terminal to which the radio resources are to be allocated according to the dynamic scheduling.
